Chapter 132.1: Reality (2/2)

Then Bai Liu’s head stuck back through the crack in the door. He was very calm and didn’t feel shameless at all as he told the child, “Child, remember Uncle’s name and that Uncle saved you.”

“I am called Bai Liu. Once you grow up, remember to pay me back your medical expenses. Currently, you are too young to pay so I let you owe me first. I placed the IOU beside your bed.”

The child stared as Bai Liu shut the door after saying this. Then he didn’t know why but he suddenly wanted to laugh.

Thus, he laughed happily and weakly.

Outside the door, Lu Yizhan’s strange questioning voice was heard. “Why did you just look back?”

“…No reason, I thought I forgot to take my phone.”

After walking through five rooms, Bai Liu finally came to Liu Jiayi’s room.

Lu Yizhan already felt it was a bit weird. “Why did you suddenly become kind today and have an impulse to see the children?”

“I’m looking for clues. Didn’t you ask me to check it for you?” Bai Liu spoke nonsense without changing expressions and looked at Lu Yizhan like he was a fool.

Lu Yizhan couldn’t help falling into deep confusion. He had seen these children many times. Were there any clues he missed? There shouldn’t be.

Before Lu Yizhan could figure it out, Bai Liu had already opened the door to Liu Jiayi’s room.

The girl’s sharp cry instantly rang out loud enough to overturn the roof. The policeman responsible for guarding the room couldn’t help covering his ears and gestured for Bai Liu to quickly close the door.

Bai Liu was unmoved. “Liu Jiayi, it is Bai Liu. Let’s talk.”

The girl’s screams came to an abrupt end.

The guarding policeman and Lu Yizhan both looked at Bai Liu with surprise.

Under the watchful eyes of the policeman and Lu Yizhan’s strong guarantee, Bai Liu got his wish and entered Liu Jiayi’s room, provided that the surveillance tape was turned on and the recorder outside was connected.

One minute after Bai Liu entered, a policeman holding a phone walked over with an ugly expression. “Liu Jiayi’s brother, Liu Huai, is dead. The traffic department just informed us. He was in an accident this morning. This little girl cries when her brother doesn’t come. She called for him until she fainted and she refused to speak. What should we do now?”

Lu Yizhan turned on the recorder with a complicated expression and Bai Liu’s voice came clearly from it. “Liu Jiayi, can we talk?”

After a long time, a hoarse and dry little girl’s voice came out. “What do you want to talk about?”

The policeman holding the phone stared at the recorder with amazement. “Who is inside? Why does Liu Jiayi suddenly want to speak?”

“My friend, no, he should be Liu Huai’s… Internet friend,” Lu Yizhan spoke with an increasingly complicated expression.

Although he had no idea how Bai Liu and Liu Huai became friends.

Inside the room, Liu Jiayi crawled out from under the bed and curled up in a corner.

Her head was still buried in her knees. This was a very insecure, self-defense posture. Her bare skin and fingers were a scary white. Even the blue of the blood vessels could be seen.

Obviously, Liu Jiayi was in a state of excessive blood loss. This was guessed by Bai Liu. It was because the detoxification item blood ganoderma lucidum was only obtained from the Love Welfare Institute Monster Book – Plant Patient page.  However, Liu Jiayi basically stayed in the welfare home from beginning to end and there was no time to collect this page.

“What do you want to talk to me about?” Liu Jiayi spoke hoarsely, not lifting her head.

Bai Liu always liked to get straight to the point. “You know that Liu Huai is dead, right?”

Liu Jiayi trembled uncontrollably and shrank back. She almost shrank herself into a small ball under the quilt and her breathing also became rapid.

She ran out this morning to find Liu Huai but she couldn’t stop Liu Huai’s death.

“His soul is with me, or it is partly with me and partly with the system.” Bai Liu continued talking slowly. “If you want to resurrect him, you need his soul. I won’t give it to you for nothing. I need something in exchange.”

Liu Jiayi was silent for a moment before asking, “What do you want?”

Bai Liu squinted at her. “You should guess what I want. I want your soul. I want you to accompany me in this year’s league. Then you can win the league and use the points for your brother. You can also use the wish to get out of the game. I promised Liu Huai to take you out of the game. This is my method to take you out.”

Liu Jiayi was finally willing to lift her head. Her gray eyes stared at Bai Liu. There were still obvious red and swollen circles around her eyes. She had clearly been crying.

She said, “You have a lot of ambitions. If I want to play in the league, why shouldn’t I directly follow the King’s Guild? They have a much higher chance of winning. Even if you hold my brother’s soul, as long as I win the league, I can use the wish to directly take my brother’s soul from your hands. The system will help me do anything.”

“Does that include you and Liu Huai being a brother and sister forever?” Bai Liu’s tone was calm. “I thought you would’ve had enough of this system that is full of lies.”

Liu Jiayi’s fists clenched as she remembered Hearts’ frivolous smile and the item called Psyche’s Tears.

The god-level item was already the highest level of item in the game but it still didn’t realize her wish.

“You can make a deal with me. I will completely reveal my skill and tell you that I can’t violate the deal. If I violate it, my soul will be imprisoned.” Bai Liu stared straight at Liu Jiayi. “At the very least, you can trust me to keep my word.”
